Umesh, who is one of those bowlers who really puts his back into it, seems unsure on the greasy surface and it takes him a while to feel confident about his landing area. Anyway, Ahmed Shehzad cuts him attractively for a boundary. But Umesh settles after that.

Shadab continues but India are able to milk him for singles. The talk in the commentary box is about Kohli's tour of England in 2014 and how susceptible he was to seam. With that, Mohammad Amir is brought back. Is it too late, though?
1954-55 (Pakistan) India's first visit to Pakistan was pretty much dominated by the same characters and, with neither side prepared to take risks, the series was defensive throughout. In Pakistan's first home Test, at Dacca, the run rate was 1.8 an over and that set the tone for all five Tests which were played over four days - it would have taken five or six for there to have been any chance of breaking the stalemate. India had a sniff of victory in the fourth Test at Peshawar but again slow batting - Pakistan made 129 for 6 in almost 100 overs on the first day - meant they ran out of time. Tests: India 0 Pakistan 0 Drawn 5
Pakistan need 53 off 84. Pradeep comes back to bowl his last over. He bounces Amir and it goes well over the southpaw's over. Wonder why wasn't that called a wide! The second ball is short and wide, Amir cuts it through point and runs three. Excellent running which brings Sarfraz Ahmed on strike. Ahmed crouches, watches the ball and dead-bats it right under his eyeline. Sarfraz drives the fourth delivery down the ground and mid on dives to his left to stop. Game of margins this! A slip for Amir and he blocks the fifth ball. Amir offers back foot defense on the last ball too. Nuwan Pradeep has finished his quota.
What are they saying? India captain Virat Kohli: Indian skipper Virat Kohli has denied reports of a rift between himself and coach Anil Kumble on the eve of his team's Champions Trophy Group B opener against arch-rivals Pakistan at Edgbaston on Sunday. Reports of a falling out between Kohli and Kumble emerged after India's cricket board (BCCI) invited applications for the head coach's role last week, despite the team's excellent results since Kumble took over last June. Kumble has guided the team to just one defeat in 17 tests since taking charge, and the BCCI has made it clear that it will also consider extending his contract. "There are no issues whatsoever," Kohli told a news conference on Saturday. "There has been a lot of speculation and a lot of things written by people without actually being a part of the changing room, which is very strange. "There are no problems whatsoever. The team is totally focused on the Champions Trophy." What are the odds? India - 4/9 Pakistan - 7/4 What's our prediction? India should win here, but we're expecting a close match.
WICKET! Umesh gets a big wicket for India. The in-form Babar Azam sneaked in a boundary through backward-point, as Kedar Jadhav slipped at the ropes. However, Umesh pitches it short and wide again, the next delivery, in order to entice Babar to slice hard at it; and he does. This time however, the ball flew straight to Ravindra Jadeja at point.
Unlike England’s opening pair of Jason Roy and Alex Hales, who can soon fret, Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan feigned nonchalance and gave themselves time and, surely enough, they had the class to make it up. They put on 136 for the first wicket in almost half of India’s allotted overs, preparing the way for Kohli, Yuvraj and Pandya to go to town in the second half.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar will open the bowling. Azhar Ali is on strike. Couple of wides in this over, but otherwise tidy enough. No carry, leaden skies, BhuKu might be a handful.
Imad tosses one up and Dhawan wallops it. Now a really irritating bit of cricket, the ball knocked into the deep for a single, a wild throw, keeper misses it, nobody is backing up. Oh, Pakistan. Three runs.
Rain interruptions reduced Pakistan’s target from 324 off 48 to 289 off 41 but their innings never threatened to take off. Apart from Azhar Ali and the promise of Babar Azam, the standard of Pakistan’s batsmen has fallen to sorry depths. None has played in county cricket except, briefly, Shoaib Malik a decade ago, so they did not have the knowledge of Edgbaston that so many of their predecessors had. At times India’s fielding was almost as comical as Pakistan’s but Ravi Jadeja managed a flash of brilliance with his running out of Malik from backward point. Malik and Mohammad Hafeez were the bulwark of Pakistan’s batting in the last Champions Trophy of 2013, and neither scored a 50 then, so all too little has changed. India, the holders, have emerged as the team to beat.
“We do the basics wrong, we do the simple things wrong,” said Pakistan’s coach, Micky Arthur. “The only thing I can think of is the magnitude of the occasion got to them.”
Wahab Riaz continues, and this is good stuff from the veteran, decent recovery after he had some tap in over 16. india as yet unable to find top gear.
In May 2017, BCCI secretary Amitabh Choudhary said that the BCCI would need approval from the Indian government before a bilateral series can go ahead. At the end of the same month, there was no further progress, despite both boards meeting in Dubai to discuss the matter.
And the two Indian openers are out onto the pitch, after a minute's silence in honour of the victims of the London terror attacks yesterday, and the national anthems of the two sides. Rohit Sharma takes strike, as Mohammed Amir hurls in an outward angled delivery that flies past the former's bat.
Sarfraz Ahmed is a delightful gabbler, I like him even more for that. He relates that Shadab, the 18-year-old leggie, is in the XI, Fashim Ashraf is the man who misses out. Virat gets a huge cheer: "The side batting second will have some pressure. Nice and hard wicket. We will look to use our main strength which is batting. It is just a game of cricket for me, anywhere in the world. We feel normal, the preparations are as usual." For India, R Ashwin and Shami are out.
Half-tracker from Jadeja is pulled away by Hafeez for four, and a mis-field from Kolhi means Pakistan back up that welcome boundary with a single. The left-arm spinner then bowls a quicker dart that strikes Azhar on the pad as he tries to sweep - loud appeal without reward. Good comeback from Jadeja after that loosener, varying his pace well.
Rain could mean bad news for India, who have had a slow-ish start. Also, it breaks the momentum that Rohit and Dhawan were starting to pick up.
In 1999, immediately following Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's historic visit to Pakistan, the Pakistani team toured India for Test matches and played in an ODI competition before the Kargil War again put bilateral relations in deep freeze. Prime Minister Vajpayee's peace initiative of 2003 led to India touring Pakistan after a gap of almost 15 years. Subsequent exchange tours were held in 2005 and 2006 before the 2008 Mumbai attacks led to the suspension of India's planned tour of Pakistan in 2009 and all future engagements in Pakistan. India was scheduled to begin the tour of Pakistan from 13 January to 19 February 2009, but was cancelled because of the tension existing between the two countries after the terrorist attacks in Mumbai.
10:16AM There's some intrigue in the India camp Re the future of Anil Kumble, and rumours that there have been some issues between him and Virat Kohli. Cricket-Australian McDermott applies for India coach job - report NEW DELHI, June 4 (Reuters) - Former Australia fast bowler Craig McDermott has applied for the post of India head coach, which will become vacant after the ongoing Champions Trophy campaign. The Indian cricket board (BCCI) advertised the post last month, while maintaining that incumbent Anil Kumble would be considered for a contract extension after the team recorded just one defeat in 17 tests since he took over in June last year. McDermott, who played 71 tests for Australia between 1984 and 1996 and was his country's full-time bowling coach from the 2013-14 Ashes series to last year's World T20, said he had submitted an application. "I have had aspirations for a while to be a head coach," he told www.sportstarlive.com. "I was away from cricket coaching for a year, and now, I want to come back to it. I have also enjoyed my time in India, and it would be nice to serve Indian cricket." According to media reports, his former team mate Tom Moody, former Pakistan coach Richard Pybus, ex-India opener Virender Sehwag and coach of the 2007 World T20 winning Indian team Lalchand Rajput have also applied for the job. Managing an Indian dressing room full of egos and diverse personalities is a Herculean task and former captain Kumble's impressive record will be difficult to ignore. The BCCI's Cricket Advisory Committee, which will make the decision, comprises his former team mates Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman.
That's a real blow for Pakistan as Malik looked in excellent touch. Goes walkabout looking for a quick single, Hafeez sends him back but Jadeja at 45 finds the target with a flat left-arm throw. Fine piece of fielding, but an amateurish dismissal.
Virat Kohli brought his strike bowler Umesh Yadav in to bowl, as soon as the Pakistan tail was exposed, and the lanky Kolkata Knight Riders paceman wrapped-up the innings with some intelligent change of pace, removing Mohammad Amir and Hassan Ali. With Wahab Riaz already out injured, Pakistan ran out of batsmen, resulting in a massive 124-run win for India.
A four over spell seems to be enough for Amir, for now. Paskistan skipper Sarfraz wants to preserve him for later. Hasan Ali into the attack, in the 9th over.
"I was away from cricket coaching for a year, and now, I want to come back to it. I have also enjoyed my time in India, and it would be nice to serve Indian cricket."
Pakistan, meanwhile, have the likes of Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Hafeez, Sarfraz Ahmed, Shoaib Malik, Haris Sohail in their ranks. But the player to watch out for will be the young Babar Azam, who impressed one and all with his solid showing in limited-overs cricket over the last one year.

Sri Lanka captain, Angelo Mathews: A see-saw kind of a game. Credit should go to Pakistan. They held their nerves and are deserved winners. It was a bit of a funny wicket. We hadn't got the runs but we knew we could defend this. The bowlers did their job and also batted well. We didn't hold on to our catches and that cost us the game. Proud of the boys. Even though we only had 236 to defend, they gave it their all. In a big tournament like this, they fought hard. I'm proud of them.
In the late 1980s and for most of the 1990s, India and Pakistan squared-off on neutral venues such as Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates and in Toronto, Canada, where large audiences of expatriates regularly watched them play. The series between the teams in Canada in the 1990s and early 2000s were officially known as the "Friendship Cup". Sharjah even though a neutral venue was considered as the "back yard of Pakistan" given the close proximity and the massive support the team generated.
What an outstanding partnership this has been! Certainly one of the most memorable partnership for Pakistan this decade. Mickey Arhtur exults in joy, Azhar Ali too joins his coach in celebrations. Amir and Sarfraz hug each other. If one would have said Pakistan would qualify for the semis after the match against India, all would have ridiculed that person. But here they are in the semis!
Pakistan became a permanent member of the International Cricket Council in 1948, and their tour of India was their first in Test cricket history. They lost the first Test in Delhi to India, but won the second Test in Lucknow, which led to an angry reaction from the home crowd against the Indian players. India clinched the Test series after winning the third Test in Bombay, but the intense pressure affected the players of both teams to the point that they pursued mainly defensive tactics that led to drawn matches and whole series without a victor. When India toured Pakistan in 1955, thousands of Indian fans were granted visas to go to the Pakistani city of Lahore to watch the Test match. But both the 1955 series and Pakistan's tour of India in 1961 ended in a drawn series with no test yielding a winner or loser. Complaints about the fairness of umpires also became routine.
That's the game for India, because Wahab Riaz is unable to bat due to injury. Another cheap wicket given away, but Yadhav's figures have been nicely embellished as he's cleaned up the tail. A convincing win for India - a 124-run victory.

WICKET! What a throw by Jadeja. Hafeez steers be ball away, and looks to steal a single. However, Jadeja caught Shoaib Malik off-guard with a gem of a throw, on the turn, as he hits the stumps directly. He had only one stump to aim at. This is a very important wicket, as Shoaib Malik was scoring at a rather brisk pace, and was looking quite comfortable out there.
WICKET! Shadab Khan tosses the ball up, and Dhawan takes the bait, as he dances down the tract to smack it on the full towards the leg side. It was a simple catch for Azhar Ali at deep-midwicket.
The growth of large expatriate populations from India and Pakistan across the world led to neutral states like the United Arab Emirates and Canada hosting several bilateral and multilateral ODI series involving the two teams. Players in both teams routinely face intense pressure to win, and are threatened by extreme reactions in defeat. Extreme fan reactions to defeats in key matches such as in the ICC Cricket World Cup have been recorded, with a limited degree of violence and public disturbances.At the same time, India-Pakistan cricket matches have also offered opportunities for cricket diplomacy as a means to improve relations between the two countries by allowing heads of state to exchange visits and cricket followers from either country to travel to the other to watch the matches.
Preview: Zaman starts attacking from this over, getting three boundaries in four deliveries, targeting the off-side on each occasion. He is playing wonderfully once again, and seems to have carried his big-hitting form over from the match against South Africa. 12 off the over.
Now things crackle into life! Mo Amir bounces Sharma, and Rohit takes it on. Hooks! Top edge! But he's got enough of it to pick up four. Some inswing to Dhawan finds a clunk of an inside edge. Mo Amir is a classy, classy bowler.
First bowling change, Hasan Ali comes on with his right-arm fast medium. Offers the merest hint of width and Rohit is at him, a lovely, clever, touchy shot behind square for four. Quality act, old RS. The days of 'Nohit Sharma' but a memory these days. Weather not looking too good.

ICC Champions Trophy 2017 has reached its business end and we are just three matches away from knowing that who will be the next side who to claim the coveted trophy on 18th June at The Oval, London. In the first semi-final, the hosts England and Pakistan will battle it out hard at Cardiff to book a berth in the grand final. The runners-up of last Champions Trophy, England is the only undefeated team in the tournament and is arguably the most complete side in limited-overs cricket. Eoin Morgan’s men have all bases covered and will start as the favourites against the men in green.

First bowling change, Hasan Ali comes on with his right-arm fast medium. Offers the merest hint of width and Rohit is at him, a lovely, clever, touchy shot behind square for four. Quality act, old RS. The days of 'Nohit Sharma' but a memory these days. Weather not looking too good.

ICC Champions Trophy 2017 has reached its business end and we are just three matches away from knowing that who will be the next side who to claim the coveted trophy on 18th June at The Oval, London. In the first semi-final, the hosts England and Pakistan will battle it out hard at Cardiff to book a berth in the grand final. The runners-up of last Champions Trophy, England is the only undefeated team in the tournament and is arguably the most complete side in limited-overs cricket. Eoin Morgan’s men have all bases covered and will start as the favourites against the men in green.
